    sabi daw sa akin na ung pede itulak or hindi itulak, kapag ayaw mag start ng engine ay depende sa transmission, kapag manual na kotse daw lng ung pedeng tulak kapag di mapaandar ung engine?

    or mali yan, depende sa engine, kapag gas or diesel...

    Okay sir I see you point

    So a Tucson with Theta II engine is more expensive to maintain than a CRDi one? Or the other way around? I'm not really good here that's why I have a lot of questions.. questions that needs answers

    From a different perspective:

    Did a simple computation for a friend months back, July I think, between a GLS Gas and GL CRDi. The P180K outright difference buys you about 4,000L of petrol (assuming then it was P44/L) which will take you about 36,000 kms (assuming you get 9Km/L). At about 150 kms/week on average, that's over 4.5 years of free fuel for what you saved by buying the Gas unit.

    Disclaimer: My friend planned to use the Tucson to get from point a to b. Newbie driver, so performance of the Theta II is definitely good enough. Nga lang, due to the long line, she went with another car.

    Ang problema eh hindi kayang mag 9km/L nung Tucson Theta II. Usually 5.5-7.8km/L lang sa city driving..
